Supporting Your “Skin Story”

Supporting Your “Skin Story”

As consumers, we’ve been conditioned to head to the store and buy whatever we need whenever we need it. But when it comes to personal care products, making exactly what your skin needs reduces waste, empowers you to have 100% control, and fully supports your skin story.

Today I speak with certified aromatherapist Emelia Kohler. Emilia’s on the show to give us the motivation and knowledge to first understand our own skin stories and then confidently create products in our own kitchens that address our specific needs.

A friendly note from Stephanie: This episode requires a bit of background knowledge. If you haven’t already, please listen to episode #193: Are Essential Oils Worth The Hype? before tuning into this one!

Zero-Waste In The Land Of Wasteful Maximalism

Have you ever thought about what your life would be like without a trash can?

Here in the US, we don't think much about what happens to stuff once we're done with it. Indeed, American infrastructure isn't equipped to properly handle waste, and our wonton wastefulness on the cultural level exacerbates the climate crisis.

It's entirely possible to take matters into your own hands by stepping up as a change maker. On today's show activist and author Fredrika Syren suggests tangible ways to treat waste with the reverence it deserves by systematically creating less of it.

 

Here's a preview:

[4:00] Recycling is broken in America, and yet other countries have figured out how to do it right

[17:00] Being a change maker means asking guests to take their trash home with them

[26:30] Exactly how Fredrika saves $18,000 each year thanks to her zero-waste lifestyle

[30:00] Pick a self-sufficient skill and teach yourself! Thoughts on taking your zero-waste efforts up a notch in 2025
